#Robot Bird: A War Agent
The US army has developed a realistic robot bird that has been tricked real flocks and hawks to attack it midair, making it a potential unsuspecting future war agent. Robo-Raven was developed in university of Maryland researchers including Gerdes, S K Gupta, an Indian-origin scientist.
It glides soars and flaps like a real bird and attracts birds' attention. Its complete individual wing control allows for extreme aerobatics that no other mechanical bird has ever been able to perform, researchers from the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) claim. However, Its ability to hide in plain sight and light weight is what excites researchers most.
It can fly up-to 16 kmph - one day, could be used for surveillance.
